Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Shifting Targets
Qi Yue didn’t explain much. The two of them headed to the sports field together.
Since the sports meet was approaching, there were a lot of people on the sports field these past few days, all vigorously training.
Qi Yue and Qii Shuhang started with some warm-up exercises and then began running together.
While running, Qii Shuhang spoke up like a gentleman, “You should follow behind me, it’ll save you some energy!”
“No need, we can just run side by side,” Qi Yue said.
“Alright, let me know if you get tired, and I’ll lead the way,” he replied.
...
A lap around the sports field was four hundred meters, and the two of them quickly completed three laps.
Normally, girls couldn’t even manage to run eight hundred meters without being out of breath, let alone more than a thousand meters. Yet, after three laps, Qi Yue was neither red-faced nor breathless, which surprised Qii Shuhang immensely.
“No wonder you signed up for the 3000 meters, you really are exceptional! It’s rare for a girl to have such good stamina and endurance!” Qii Shuhang said with a laugh.
Qi Yue chuckled, “Maybe because I grew up in the countryside, I got used to running around the hills and fields as a kid!”
This wasn’t really a lie; she just subconsciously didn’t want to mention anything related to shooting.
Back in the day, to train, she would start running with weights before dawn…
Not far away, at the basketball court.
Jiang Lang was bouncing a basketball while glancing over at the sports field from time to time.
Ling Feng waved his hand in front of him, “Hey, what are you looking at!”
“Looking at Potato…”
“What?”
“Potato! She’s running on the sports field! With a guy! They seem to be having a good time chatting…”
“No way? Where, where!” Ling Feng hurriedly followed Jiang Lang’s gaze and indeed saw Qi Yue running shoulder to shoulder with a male student.
“That guy looks familiar, seems like the one who sits next to Potato in the Quantum Mechanics class… Ah! I remember now, isn’t he Qii Shuhang from the physics department! How did these two get together?”
Jiang Lang stroked his chin, “Who knows! Maybe she’s shifted her target since pursuing Gu Huai seems hopeless?”
Ling Feng patted his chest, “That’s great! Then I don’t have to be scared anymore!”
“Scared of what?”
Suddenly, the voice of Gu Huai came from beside him, startling Ling Feng, “Gu Huai! You scared me! When did you get here?”
“Just now.”
“You finished at the lab so early today! We were just talking about Potato, seeing her running with a guy. So you can relax now, you don’t have to worry about her pestering you anymore!” Ling Feng said.
Gu Huai’s gaze moved through the scattered crowd on the sports field, looking over at the two running on the track.
The girl, dressed in simple sports attire with her hair in a ponytail, was running and chatting with the guy next to her, seemingly enjoying their conversation.
Just then, a black shadow suddenly burst out from the bushes opposite and headed straight toward Jiang Lang.
“Fuck! What is that?” Jiang Lang exclaimed, jumping up.
“Ahhh—stop it, stop it—”
Immediately afterward, Song Qiuqiu and several classmates in white lab coats hurried over, gasping for breath.
Jiang Lang and Ling Feng then realized that what had just run past was a pig.
“Wu Huan! You guys are chasing a pig again?” Jiang Lang’s mouth twitched.
“Move, move! What pig! That’s my dissertation! Couldn’t you have stopped it just now?” Song Qiuqiu said, continuing to chase without another word.
“It was running so fast, how could I stop it? Alright, I’ll help you chase!” Jiang Lang said, taking off after it, while speaking incredulously, “Are you sure this is a pig? It’s running like lightning, faster than a rabbit! Did you do some special experiment to make this pig mutate?”
Song Qiuqiu, gasping for air, retorted, “You’re the one who’s mutated! We just feed it well!”
The School of Agriculture people were chasing a pig again, and many onlookers, out of kindness, started to help chase it as well.
As Song Qiuqiu ran for her life, she lamented bitterly, “What kind of world is this! Even pigs have people chasing them, yet no one chases me!!!”
